Ahhh What I ended up doing was to inform people that they would only be able to set up the automation with recursive "getting" so i used the -r function and had them type in the folder paths so text file: development/me, production/live feeds, using a comma delimiter, you can get those folders...

never mind, i just had to change the path environment variable in contrl panel -> system -> advanced

How can I make it so I can run a program from anywhere in the command prompt?

Thanks, that was most helpful, but I realize now that I have to be writing a batch file within a batch file in second.bat, but i'll post that separately here

IF i have a variable (more specifically, one inside a for loop), can I send that variable to a nested program using call so that program can use it? I'm currently trying to place files in the fight folder, because VSS only allows retrieving files into the folder that the batch file is invoking...

longhair, thanks for the clarification however, can you explain tokens? Also, is there a way to start from a certain CHARACTER? say, get everything from third character to the delim

USing this command, is there a way to get the root project? If i'm getting all files from say $/me/personal it won't create a "me" or "personal" folder, only the subdirectories inside how can this be fixed? (i'm writing in a batch file)

I wrote a simple batch file to read off file path and names from a textfile so that it can be retrieved from the VSS online database we set up. However, as we all know, SS.exe does not place files you "get" to the working folder, but rather the folder that you invoke ss.exe get (file) from, and...

Actually, in case any problems arise, could you explain the parameter and tokens/delim?

Never mind, I figured it out, i just used FOR /F "tokens=1 delims= " %%j IN (file) DO IF NOT %%j==""

Is there a way to check if a file is empty without use wscript? I wanted to make my batch file more efficient by skipping when theres no input, predetermined by the user in a text file. So something like If NOT txtfile == empty program.exe

Thanks a lot, that really helped. I was actually reading the lines from a single file, but I just replaced the (list). thanks it worked nicely. Much easier than other nonsensical methods I found.

nm i foudn out how you set the ssdir to the database ip with the safe file is found how do i delete @_@
